These walking [[cannon]]s attack by shooting heavy [[cannonball]]s that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. Their name seems to be a portmanteau of "kaboom" and "[[Goomba]]", despite Kaboombas having no relation to Goombas other than being walking enemies.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
| |
| In the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' games]], a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can safely stand on a Kaboomba, and while he cannot eat it, Yoshi can defeat it with an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] or a [[Ground Pound]].
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', Kaboombas appear only in [[The Cave Of The Mystery Maze]] and [[Raphael The Raven's Castle]], while in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Kaboombas appear in [[Bowser's Castle Break-In]].
| | A '''Kaboomba''' is a walking cannon enemy found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They shoot [[cannonball]]s that explode after a few seconds. Kaboombas only appear in [[The Cave of the Mystery Maze]] and [[Raphael the Raven's Castle]]. Stomping them lets the player ride on them, and eating them does nothing. An [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] or ground pound disposes of them. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Princess Peach''===
| | Kaboombas would go on to be featured in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' under the name "'''[[Cannon]]'''". The [[Calm Cannon]], a sleeping variety of Kaboomba, also appeared. |
| Kaboombas also appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where they are named '''Cannons'''. The [[Calm Cannon]], a sleeping variety, also appears. | |
|
| |
|
| ===Unused appearances===
| | The name "Kaboomba" is a portmanteau of the words "Kaboom!" (onomatopoeia for an explosion) and [[Goomba]]. Due to the Kaboombas' lack of similarities with Goombas, though, the name "Kaboomba" may just be a form of "Kaboom!". The [[Kaboomka Fireworks Factory]] was named in a similar style. |
| ====''Super Mario World''====
